Re: Speedo Trip Knob Removal (KZ1000)

I believe it was called duck egg blue but I appreciate thats not very helpful without a code. some auto paint suppliers have scanning tech to produce a code which will guide them to a vast range of colour swatches you can then choose from.

Re: Low Compression

100 is lowish, are all cylinders the same or similar? As others have said had similar on a z650b1, after a good long ride compressions were up 20psi across the board. A leak down test will give you much more information.

Re: Head Gaskets

Vesrah has always been my go to choice when genuine not avail or expensive. I was told years ago they make the oem gaskets for all the manufacturers. I never have problems with them, that said of late the valve stem seals included in the kits are rubbish and I suspect they buy these in. Difficult to...

Re: Just back from the lakes

Thanks for those replys chaps, I did have some spray on me and it made a little difference but not great, sprayed coils, but tank hides them. I guess I need to be more methodical in tracking this down, I will try the suggestions after taking the tank off and running remote fuel supply then hit it wi...

Just back from the lakes

Did a mini tour over 5 days from south coast up to the lake district with a mate on his A4 stopping in Wrexham overnight both ways. Gotta say riding up the east side of Wales and the lake roads were fantastic. Had one day decent dry weather, off and on the rest of the days. Very weird riding up to W...
